80 Everett AVE South Portland, ME 04106

Nestled in a charming neighborhood of South Portland, just a short stroll from the sun-kissed sands of Willard Beach, lies a bungalow that feels like a storybook come to life. This enchanting two-bedroom home, reminiscent of Frances Hodgson Burnett's beloved ''The Secret Garden,'' promises not just a residence but a sanctuary of tranquility and wonder.
As you step through the front door, the warmth and charm of the glassed-in front porch welcomes you, a perfect nook for morning coffee or twilight musings. The home's updated kitchen and bathroom blend modern convenience with timeless elegance, creating a space where every meal and every moment feels special.
Venture outside and the magic truly begins. The good-sized deck invites you to dine al fresco or simply relax under the Maine sky. From here, follow the path through a meticulously landscaped yard, where blooms and foliage create a tapestry of color and serenity. This journey leads you to the heart of the property—the secret garden. Hidden from the world, this secluded haven offers a retreat where you can lose yourself in the whispers of the wind and the rustle of leaves. It's a space where imagination can roam free, a personal paradise reminiscent of Mary Lennox's own discovery. It is also your private entrance into the ''Piggery,'' the 4-acre parcel preserved by the town of South Portland as open space.The detached garage adds practicality, while the proximity to Willard Beach and the vibrant offerings of Willard Square (don't forget Willard Scoops!) infuses your daily life with the delights of coastal living. Imagine leisurely beach walks, visits to charming local cafes, bakeries, restaurants, and the vibrant community spirit that defines this beloved area. This bungalow is more than a home; it's a gateway to a life where every day holds the promise of adventure and serenity. Let your new chapter begin.
